You're not the only one, as I've noticed this too, but from a little test I performed it seems that Fanart.TV's API server is fine and available, though they may have recently updated them to disallow the old HTTP 1.0 protocol which ViMM makes use off to fetch information from them.
Unfortunately I can't easily fix this problem in the current version of ViMM due to limitations in the tool I used to build it...
All is not lost though, using a newer version of the tool I should be able to scrape fanart.tv's api's once more, however I still need to rebuild ViMediaManager practically from scratch like I've been meaning to do for ages, but due to the amount of work needed to be done on it, and trying to get new ideas for an improved interface, I kept putting off the work, but now I guess I've got some proper motivation to build the new and improved ViMediaManager.
Of course, it'll take some time before this is done as I'll need to implement new ways of fetching the information, in the mean time you may want to disable fanart.tv support under 'Preferences > Services > Fanart.tv' to stop the message from showing up every time, and make do with art from alternative sources.
